FAIR, SQUARE, EFFICIENT W. B. Williams the Best County Clerk We Ever Had The primaries on Tuesday will determine who will be Orange county's next county clerk, the democrats having no candidate, and it is well for the republican voters to carefully consider that important office, since the choice of clerk is left to them. In making a selection for any office, the qualifications, experience and moral standing of the man are rightly the standards by which a man should be judged, and it is by those standards that the friends of W. B. Williams have judged him and have concluded that he is the right man in the right place, if ever Orange county had such a man. Trained as a lawyer, being admitted to practice by the Supreme Court of the State of California, and with a judgment that is reckoned to be uncommonly good and sound, Williams is eminently fitted for the office he has held for the last four years, and to which office he seeks re-election. The office is one that requires an intricate knowledge of the law, the rules for filing papers and the keeping of office records. That Williams has the knowledge and that his office is run systematically and with dispatch, was attested to early in the campaign by all of the attorneys of the county. That testimonial, signed by three superior court judges, Z. B. West of Orange county, Frank F. Oster of San Bernardino county, and F. E. Densmore of Riverside county, and by every lawyer in Orange county of whatever political faith, follows: "W. B. Williams, County Clerk, Santa Ana, California." "Dear Sir: Before the coming county campaign makes partisan of you" ROOSEVELT'S ATTITUDE TO THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNORSHIP Prior to and since the visit of Mr. Gifford Pinchot to California persistent attempts have been made to associate former President Roosevelt with the Lincoln-Roosevelt League movement in this state. Mr. Pinchot started for the West immediately after a visit to Col. Roosevelt, accompanied by Marshall Stimson, a prominent Lincoln-Roosevelt Leaguer of Los Angeles. This fact has been used with more or less directness to link Col. Roosevelt with the candidacy of Hiram Johnson. The following telegram received by Speaker Philip A. Stanton on July 29th fully disposes of Mr. Pinchot's attitude as a representative of Col. Roosevelt, and leaves Mr. Pinchot in the emarrabssing situation of requiring an explanation of his silence under the repeated assertions of the Lincoln-Roosevelt newspapers that he was speaking as the representative of his friend Col. Roosevelt. The telegram, it will be noticed, repudiates in strong terms the idea that Colonel Roosevelt is represented by any man in California: New York, July 29, 1910. Hon. Philip A. Stanton, Los Angeles, Cal. At the request of your brother I wire you to say I have just given out the following authorized statement: I have told Mr. Stanton that I have refused to take part in this contest for the nomination for governor just as I have refused to take part in all similar contests. No man represents me or has any authorization to speak for me in the matter, or in any similar matter, concerning a contest for a nomination and I wish to state with all possible emphasis that I am not taking part one way or another in this or any similar con- THE COMMERCE Los Angeles, Cal. To All California Citizens: The Commerce bill passed congress, is of importance to the people. Through it the people that ultimately they would regulate railroad sleeping car, telegraph, other interstate rates are realized. California will it greater benefit the state, because it has commerce of all those ent upon transcontinentalating without competition removes the only serious full development of these of the state, for it ensures reasonable rates products to all of the time to come. Too much not be given to Senators the other members of California delegation in am in position to know option of several of the tant provisions of this to their effort and influence Flint has made good on mises to the people with this act. Among the most impaired accomplished by this bill. 1st. A provision that in rates could become out the consent of the merce commission, when the period of ten months to make investigation and on such hearings thereupon the railroads to such increases of rates reasonable. 2d. The shipper is gifted of routing, providing he writing the route he will with dispatch, was attested to early in the campaign by all of the attorneys of the county. That testimonial, signed by three superior court judges, Z. B. West of Orange county, Frank F. Oster of San Bernardino county, and F. E. Densmore of Riverside county, and by every lawyer in Orange county of whatever political faith, follows: "W. B. Williams, County Clerk, San Ana, California." "Dear Sir: Before the coming county campaign makes partisans of us all, we desire that you shall know that we, without regard to politics, have appreciated the uniform courtesy shown us by your office since you have been county clerk, as well as the prompt, orderly and accurate way in which you have attended to all legal matters in which we have been interested. "This has greatly lessened the labor that would have otherwise been required of us, and consequently has inured to the benefit of all litigants in decreased expenses and facilitating the disposal of matters before the Superior Court and the Board of Supervisors." "It is a pleasure to assure you that your conduct of the office has been entirely satisfactory to us, and that it compares favorably with the work in any other county clerk's office in the state." Williams has met and has done business at his office with many hundreds of men and not one can say that he was ever treated with anything but marked courtesy. The indigent, who by reason of old age, illness, or any other misfortune has been driven to seek public charity has been treated as fairly and as courteously as the lawyer or public official who has come to the clerk's office on a matter of business. In every act, Orange county's clerk is well known to have been eminently fair, square and efficient. The office is one that demands a wide and intimate knowledge of the people of the county, and in that regard Williams is second to no man. He was raised in this county, having come here twenty-eight years ago. He graduated from the Santa Ana high school and studied law in the office of his brother, Attorney R. Y. Williams. With his school days as a basis for acquaintanceship—and it should be said in passing that his old schoolmates are all enthusiastic supporters of him—he has added ten years of experience as a public official, two years as a deputy in the THEODORE ROOSEVELT. As to Col. Roosevelt's actual opinion of Mr. Stanton the following telegrams, written by him less than eighteen months ago, while he was still President of the United States, give ample testimony, and leave little doubt that could Col. Roosevelt consistently give an endorsement of anyone it would be in favor of Philip A. Stanton, whom he so unreservedly commended so recently: White House, Washington, D.C. Feb. 5, 1909. Hon. Philip A. Stanton, Speaker of the Assembly, Sacramento, Cal. Please accept the expression of my profound obligation on behalf of the American people as a whole for the high and patriotic service you are rendering. Have unlimited confidence in the sane good sense and right-mindedness of the people of the state of California. I know that they appreciate that the national government is at this moment engaged in doing everything it can to achieve the ends that California has in view, while at the same time preserving, unbroken, the relations of respect and good will with a great and friendly nation, and therefore I am sure the people of California will support you in taking the position you have taken which is so eminently in the interests not only of the American people as a whole, but especially of the state of California. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. White House, Washington, D.C. Feb. 10, 1909. Hoa. P. A. Stanton, Speaker Assembly, Sacramento, Cal.

He was raised in this county, having come here twenty-eight years ago. He graduated from the Santa Ana high school and studied law in the office of his brother, Attorney R. Y. Williams. With his school days as a basis for acquaintanceship—and it should be said in passing that his old schoolmates are all enthusiastic supporters of his—he has added ten years of experience as a public official, two years as a deputy in the district attorney's office, four as chief deputy county clerk and four years as county clerk—in which latter office he performs the duties of clerk of the board of supervisors and clerk of the superior court. When a man has conducted his office to the satisfaction of every one and when his private life is above reproach, it would be the act of foolishness for voters to do otherwise than return him for another term in office. He believes in a square deal and the energetic manner in which he has handled his work and his honest, straightforward manner of treatment of the public shows beyond a doubt that he has lived up to his ideals in that regard. Orange county has no man better qualified than he, by experience, by training, and personality for the office for which Williams asks the support of the republican party, and the result of next Tuesday's primaries should show by an overwhelming majority that Orange county fully appreciates work well and faithfully done, day by day and year by year.

On behalf of the people of the United States I thank the people of California and their representatives in the legislature. (Signed.) THEODORE ROOSEVELT. SQUARING THE CIRCLE Mayor Mahool of Baltimore, propos of a Fourth of July expenditure that seemed extravagant, said one day: "Even to celebrate our glorious Fourth a man should keep within his means. He should remember that on the Fourth, not less than on the third or fifth, it is far easier to complete a round of pleasure than to make the things square afterward." A little boy weeping most piteously was interrupted by some unusual occurrence. He hushed his cries for a moment; the thought was broken. "Ma," he said, resuming his sniffle, "what was I crying about just now?" An Irishman wished to have a note discounted about Christmas; the bank officers objected to the long time it had to run. The Irishman said: "But, then, you don't consider how short the days are at this time of year." THE COMMERCE BILL Los Angeles, Cal., July 29, 1910. To All California Citrus Fruit Growers: The Commerce bill that has just passed congress, is of far reaching importance to the people of California. Through it the hope of the people that ultimately the government would regulate railroad, express, the sleeping car, telegraph, telephone and other interstate rates has been fully realized. California will receive from it greater benefit than any other state, because it has the greatest commerce of all those states far distant from market and wholly dependent upon transcontinental lines operating without competition. This act removes the only serious bar to the full development of the vast resources of the state, for it practically assures reasonable rates for all its products to all of the markets for all time to come. Too much credit cannot be given to Senator Flint and the other members of the very able California delegation in congress. I am in position to know that the adoption of several of the most important provisions of this bill was due to their effort and influence. Senator Flint has made good on all of his promises to the people with respect to this act. Among the most important things accomplished by this bill was: 1st. A provision that no increase in rates could become effective without the consent of the interstate commerce commission, which is given the period of ten months, if necessary to make investigation and findings, and on such hearings the burden rests upon the railroads to prove that such increases of rates are just and reasonable. 2d. The shipper is given the right of routing, providing he designates in writing the route he wishes his car 1st.

The shipper is given the right of routing, providing he designates in writing the route he wishes his car to take. 3d. An Interstate Commerce Court is created with five eminent Judges, selected at first by the President, but ultimately by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, from among the United States Circuit Judges to sit at Washington with the right to hold hearings at other convenient points and decide all Interstate Commerce questions, which ensures a just and able Court, and prevents railroads from following their usual practice of selecting the most favorable court to hear their controversies. 4th. The further protection of shippers by authorizing and directing the attorney general to represent the interests of the people on their hearings, and in addition to this, authorizing the commission to employ counsel to defend their decisions at the expense of the United States, and by authorizing shippers to employ counsel to represent them before its court, and providing that no continuance shall be granted without the consent of the shippers. 5th. By requiring all railroad companies to appoint an agent at Washington, upon whom service can be made which obviates the long delays and expense in finding and serving such carriers. 6th. Other amendments and changes of verbiage in the Act have been made for the better protection of the shipper. Yours very truly, A. F. Call, Attorney. THA LADY AND LAWYER The only woman in part 2 of the court of General Sessions was Misseda Thomas, a petite and girlish tartia, who was defending George Davis on the charge of burglary in the third degree, runs a story in the New York Evening Sun. Judge Crain summing up, praised the young woman's conduct of the case, saying she had defended the prisoner half of the Hetch-Hetchy Valley and the Weeks bill; have introduced elementary forestry into public schools; have helped to secure legislation by the states in behalf of forestry; have studied the problems of forestry; are helping the Audubon society to protect birds; promote the observance of Arbor Day, the bird day, and co-operate with the tree wardens of cities. In Colorado, whose male citizens oppose national forests; Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana and New Jersey forestry owes much to the work of women's clubs. They are more and more developing thorough methods of action. Wonderful gains are being made throughout Southern California by Philip A. Stanton, Southern California's only candidate for the republican nomination for governor, according to reports that come from every side, while in the northern part of the state sentiment for the candidate from south of the Tehachepi is growing steadily. There can be little doubt now that Philip A. Stanton will be the republican nominee, and it is equally certain that he will be elected.
